Definitions

  • This invention relates to an apparatus and stand for the selectively dispensing of carbonated and uncarbonated beverages from a disposable bottle.
  • the valve stem of the vent passageway is longer than the valve stem of the liquid passageway and is contacted by the lever prior to contact with the liquid valve stem, thus allowing the pressure in the ullage volume to equilibrate prior to the liquid being allowed to egress.
  • the structure of the Salvail device like that of the Anderson dispensing device, requires the liquid to abruptly change direction at least twice as it flows toward the spout. Again, the abrupt change in direction of the liquid caused by the impact thereof against various internal members results in the constituent gas in the unstable carbonated liquid to be undesirable released prior to consumption, giving rise to excess foam and flat tasting beverages. Salvail further is typical of prior art devices in which the liquid and air mix at a point somewhere in the device, causing carbonated liquids to cavitate and prematurely release its carbonation.
  • Salvail also describes a stand, typical of other prior art stands, that is connected to the bottle about its neck. It is noted that the stand is subjected to considerable torque due to the displacement of the center of gravity from the point of contact with the stand. This represents a possible unstable condition as the stand and bottle can easily be tipped over by outside forces. Additionally, it may be difficult to accommodate bottles of different dimensions.
  • an apparatus for dispensing liquids directly from a vertically oriented inverted container containing a liquid comprises a body adapted to receive and secure the open mouth of the container.
  • the body further defines a pair of spaced chambers with a first chamber communicating directly through the mouth with the liquid in the container and the second chamber communicating directly with the ullage volume of the container via a hollow tube-like member.
  • the body further defining first and second spaced passageways that communicate with the respective chambers.
  • the first passageway is vertically aligned beneath said first chamber so as to permit unimpeded flow of liquid therethrough when open.
  • a pair of valves is adapted to selectively open and close the first and second passageways.
  • a valve control mechanism is operative linked to the valves and sequentially opens the second valve and then the first valve. The sequential operation permits the unimpeded equilibration of the pressure in the ullage volume prior to the unimpeded dispensing of fluid from the bottle to the awaiting receptacle.
  • Still another feature of the present invention is a stand used in combination with the beverage dispenser that connects directly to one or more beverage dispensers and permits one or more bottles to be inverted and positioned substantially vertical with respect to the horizontal for the dispensing of liquids.
  • the stand includes an upright column mounted on a pedestal positioned on a horizontal support surface such as a counter top.
  • a pair of arms mounted to the top of the upright member extend horizontally outward from the column in opposite directions. Each arm is bent so as to form a rounded right angle bend creating forward extending arm portion.
  • the distal ends of the forward extending portions are bifurcated into pairs of spaced and parallel fingers, thus providing a yoke-like dispenser grasping member. The spacing between the fingers of the member is large enough to allow the dispenser to slide therebetween.
  • the dispenser is provided with a pair of flanges, the underneath surface thereof resting against the top surface of the fingers thereby providing a support for the dispensing apparatus and the connected bottle. Because the stand directly supports the body of the dispensing apparatus, it is independent of the size and shape of the bottle and accommodates the use of all sizes of bottles.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective of the dispensing apparatus of the present invention in combination with a stand;
  • FIG. 1A is a top view of the stand of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the dispensing apparatus of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a side sectional view of the apparatus of FIG. 1 taken along lines 3--3 thereof;
  • FIG. 4 is a bottom view of the apparatus of FIG. 1 to show the operative components therein;
  • FIG. 5 is a side view of the apparatus of FIG. 1, partially in section, showing the valve elements and stems and depicting the lost motion linkage with the arm;
  • FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along lines 6--6 of FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 7 is a top plan view of a single valve guide.
  • FIG. 8 is a sectional view similar in nature to FIG. 5, showing an alternate structure of the valve chamber in communication with the ullage volume of the bottle and having an opening through the side wall thereof to the atmosphere.
  • a pair of dispensing apparatus 10 are supported by a stand 12.
  • One apparatus 10 is connected to an inverted bottle 14 withits sealing cap removed and contains a liquid 16. While FIG. 1, for clarityshows a single bottle in position, stand 12 is capable of two dispensing apparatus 10, each adapted to be connected to a bottle.
  • the open mouth of bottle 14 is secured within annular boss or collar 18 fixed to top wall 20of apparatus 10.
  • Collar 18 is provided with internal threads to mesh with the external threads about the throat of bottle 14.
  • Top wall 20 extends beyond the body 26 to form a flange 21. Spaced beneath flange 21 a predetermined distance is a second flange or ridge 21a (best seen in FIG. 2). As discussed below, flange 21 serves as a supporting element of apparatus 10 by stand 12. Ridge 21a prevents accidental tippingof bottle 14 and apparatus 10 when positioned on stand 12.
  • Stand 12 adapted to be positioned on a horizontal surface by C or U-shapedpedestal 13, supports apparatus 10 and indirectly bottle 14 through dispenser 10.
  • a vertical support column 15 is removably secured at its lower end within adjustable socket connection 17 located at the midpoint of pedestal 13.
  • Extending in opposite directions from removable sleeve member 19 encapsulating the top end of column 15 are a pair of arms 22. Asbest shown in FIG. 1A, each arm 22 is bent at a right angle forming parallel but horizontal arm extensions 22a. The extensions 22a are bifurcated at the distal ends thereof into a pair of spaced and parallel fingers 24 forming a yoke.
  • the spacing between fingers 24 is sufficiently large to permit the opposite walls of dispensing apparatus 10 to slide therebetween and permitting the dispensing apparatus to be supported on fingers 24 by flange 21.
  • the second flange 21a is spaced beneath flange 21a distance slightly greater than the vertical width of fingers 24.
  • a major advantage of the combination is that the dispensing apparatus 10, and not bottle 14, is supported directly by stand 12. Because the bottle 14 is held in a vertical position, not only saving space and more efficiently using the force of gravity for dispensing purposes, the prior art problem of torque exerted on the stand by the center of gravity of thebottle being displaced from the central axis is avoided.
  • Stand 12 provides a stable base for one or more bottles 14 that is not easily tipped over bythe user.
  • a second pair of flanges or extensions 21a (shown in dashed lines) positioned below the flanges 21 may be provided to prevent a tilting of the bottle 14 and apparatus 10.
  • the dispenser grasping yoke has a shape to accommodate a dispensing apparatus having a rectangular cross section
  • other yoke shapes may be employed as well depending upon the shape of the dispensing apparatus.
  • the cross section of the dispensing apparatus could be a circle in which the yoke would have a complimentary shape, i.e., a circle.
  • the stand could be provided with a single arm projecting forward and splitinto a pair of subarms, each bifurcated into a yoke configuration for supporting a dispensing apparatus.
  • the stand could be provided with a multiplicity of arms, each with a dispenser grasping yoke,thus accommodating a multiplicity of dispensers and associated bottles.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the operative components of the dispensing apparatus of the present invention in a simplified perspective.
  • the body 26 of the apparatus 10 defines a pair of spaced chambers 38 and 40, preferably cylindrical, having respective longitudinal axis 38a and 40a thereof arranged vertical with respect to the horizontal support surface when apparatus 10 is secured to stand 12 as shown in FIG. 1.
  • Chamber 38 communicates at its upper end with mouth or opening 42 defined by collar 18 and receives liquid from beverage bottle 14.
  • Chamber 40 is sealed about hollow tube 39 at its upper end, communicating solely through tube 39 with the ullage volume of bottle 14.
  • chamber 38 communicates with passageway 44 leading to an open cavity 48 defined by the extension of the sidewalls of the dispensing apparatus 10.
  • chamber 40 is open at its lower end and communicates with passageway 46 that also leads to cavity 48.
  • Passageway 44 has a vertical axis 42a which is essentially coaxial with axis 38a, this allowing the liquid to flow downwardly unimpeded from chamber 38 through passageway 44 when open into cavity 48.
  • passageway 38 and chamber 44 define a vertical channel extending from mouth or opening 42 to opening or cavity 48.
  • a receptacle 51 for receiving the liquid passing through the vertical channel.
  • chambers 38 and 40 collectively have volumes preferably greater than one half, to about two thirds, of the volume of the section of body 26 defining the chambers.
  • the large volumes of the chambers permit large volume flows of liquid and rapid expansion of gases accumulated in the ullage volume without a detrimental impact on the flow of the liquid and an undesirable liquid and gas expulsion noise along with attendant spraying effect. Selective release of the accumulated gas by careful opening of the valves is not necessary as is prevalent with prior art dispensing devices.
  • Cavity 48 serves primarily to house the various operative components of thedispensing apparatus.
  • Shaft 50 spans the width of cavity 48 and is rotatably journaled into and supported by opposing walls 52 and 54 of cavity 48.
  • One end of shaft 50 extends through wall 52 and is connected toa manually operated handle 56.
  • a cross bar 58 is secured substantially normal to shaft 50 at about the midpoint thereof and extends across the depth of cavity 48 where it is secured substantially normal at its other end to an arm 60 at about the midpoint thereof.
  • a pair of tapered valve plugs or elements 62 and 64 are positioned respectively in the complimentarily tapered mouths of passageways 44 and 46.
  • Elements 62 and 64 are preferably made from elastomeric material compatible with the liquid contents of bottle 14 such as thermoplastic material acceptable for use in the food and beverage industry and suitableto seal the mouths of passageways 44 and 46 against fluid flow.
  • Extending downwardly from elements 62 and 64 are respective valve stems 66 and 68 coupled by respective slots 70 and 72 to the ends of arm 60.
  • Slot 70 vertically is larger than slot 72 providing stem 66 a lost motion couplingwith arm 60.
  • a spring 74 is connected to cross bar 58 and biases cross bar 58 downwardly, thus via connecting arm 60 and valve stems 66 and 68, pulling valve elements 62 and 64 downward against the mouths of passageways 44 and 46. Passageways 44 and 46 are therefore normally sealedagainst fluid flow.
  • valve element 62 When valve element 62 is raised, liquid will flow directly downward through chamber 38 and passageway 44 container 51 unimpeded and without any change of direction of the liquid.
  • the operating components offer very little resistance to the flow of the liquid and surprisingly create minimal foam when the liquid is carbonated. It should also be noted that the dispensing apparatus requires no spout to further direct the flow of liquid to a container.
  • each valve element 62, 64 is provided with a respective valve guide 80 and 82 that has a diameter slightly less than the diameter of the respective chamber 38 and 40 in which it is positioned.
  • guides 80and 82 prevent "off axis" motion of the valve elements.
  • FIG. 7 shows a top elevation view of guide 80. It can be seen that the configuration will allow for the free flow of liquids through spaces 84 between the wall 38b of chamber 38 and guide 80. The structural relationship of guide 80 with respect to wall 38b is clearly shown in FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates the spring biasing feature of the present invention.
  • Oneend of helical spring 74 is secured within bore 86 in the top wall 88 of cavity 48 and the other end to cross bar 58.
  • cross bar 58 compresses spring 74 into bore 86 where the stored potential energy is available to move cross bar 58 back once handle 56 is released.
  • the type of spring may be varied as desired. For example a leaf spring could be employed requiring little structural modification. Additionally, the spring could be mounted so as to create the bias through extension of the spring rather than through compression.
  • FIG. 8 illustrates an alternate structure of the present invention in which the ullage equilibration is accomplished through the use of a separate holeto the atmosphere into cavity 48.
  • Passageway 46 is sealed from cavity 48 byupper wall 88 of cavity 48.
  • valve stem 68 slides through upper wall 88.
  • a small hole 90 permits passageway 46 to communicate with the atmosphere.
  • dispensing apparatus and stand therefore of the present invention provide considerable advantages.
  • the liquid flows vertically downwardly essentially unimpeded from bottle to awaiting glass, little foam is generated in contrast to many prior art devices.
  • the operating componentshoused within open cavity 48 are easily reachable and cleanable.
  • none of the operating components require sealing against channeling of theliquid in undesirable directions since all are housed within an open cavityand do not extend through walls containing a flow of liquid.
